Chapter Four

Burke

Her words are the thing that finally push me over the edge and have the last vestiges of my decency disintegrating. The darkness I have felt seeping into me finally takes hold and I no longer have control of my body. Lifting one of her legs I push her juicy thigh over my hip before thrusting my erection against her sex. A tiny noise escapes her throat.

“You want honesty? I haven’t wanted another woman since I saw you that first day at the diner.” I rub myself against her. “I dream of these thick thighs spread for me and every morning I jerk my cock in the shower to thoughts of these lush tits. I hate that you call yourself fat. I don’t see you that way, I see a sexy ass woman that can handle a real man.”

I can’t believe I am saying all these things to her. I have lost all control.

“If I scare her, so be it,” a dark voice filters into my mind. “I don’t care anymore and neither should you. She should be afraid of us. I am on the precipice of losing my goddamned mind and just taking her, whether she wants us or not.”

Fear and confusion swirl and lodge in my gut. None of this makes any damn sense and I’m afraid of myself right now, to be honest.

Lowering her leg, I allow her a little room to breathe as I run my index finger along her cleavage. Yes, I want to touch her but this is different. I’m not controlling my movements.

“I don’t want you, Sage. I crave you, more than my next fucking breath. I want to pin you to the ground and rip this pretty dress from your body, I want to fuck you until you cry and then I want to pump you full of my seed and get you pregnant so you can never leave me. That’s what I want.”

My darkest secrets are laid bare for her. The voice sounds like mine but the words aren’t spoken by me. Bewilderment strangles me as I try to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I’m not expecting the slap that connects with my cheek. I’m also not expecting it to ignite a fire in my soul that won’t be put out. The darkness inside me pulses with every beat of my heart, growing stronger, fully overtaking me.

“You need to run now, little girl,” I hear myself say, darkness dripping from every word. “Run fast and run far because if I catch you in these woods tonight, I will fuck your pretty little cunt raw.”

My voice doesn’t even sound like my own and it shouldn’t really. I feel fucking possessed and my voice should mimic that feeling. Is that what’s happening? All my life I’ve heard the stories of people claiming to be possessed but I’ve never put any stock into them. Could it be true? Can a normal person fall into darkness for a single night? Can a demon or a ghost or whatever really control someone? Because that sure-as-shit feels like what is happening to me right now.

Sage watches me for a beat before taking off into the forest. She doesn’t turn and run back the way we came. No. She runs away from the lights and the people deeper into the forest.

I don’t know what possesses me, but I lift my head and howl at the moon like a delusional wolf man before I stalk after her. Her short legs won’t carry her very far from me. And I grew up around these parts, I’ve been in these woods a million times. Things are spiraling quickly and I don’t know if I ca n— or even want t o— stop this.

Let her run.

Let her believe she can escape.

She won’t ever be getting away from me.

Sage

His words both revolt and arouse me. This isn’t the same man I have seen every morning for the past six months. No, this is a monster or a demon wearing his skin. He basically just told me he would take me against my will.

I am outraged! It’s why I slapped him.

The problem with that scenario is that my pussy is dripping for him. His words have me wet, ready, and wanting. I have never felt this way in my entire life, and it scares the shit out of me. Perhaps that’s really why I slapped him.

I hear him howl at the moon and for the first time tonight, true fear sets in. Not the kind that sends an adrenaline rush through your system, like skydiving or bungee jumping. No, this is the kind of fear you feel when walking home at night and finding yourself alone in the dark with four strange men.

Perhaps he was only pretending to be a good man. He could be a serial killer hiding in plain sight for all I know. Wouldn’t that be the perfect cover, though? The sheriff’s deputy is actually a serial killer. A burst of hysterical laughter explodes from me, and I slap my hand over my mouth, muffling the sound. I don’t need to give him anything that will help him find me.

My short legs work as quickly as they can, carrying me deeper into the underbrush and I realize the mistake I have made. I don’t know this area. I know Burke is stalking me like a lunatic but what else could be in these woods? Wolves? Wildcats? Snakes and spiders? Dear God, what have I done?

I stop and try to orient myself. There are no lights visible, and I can’t see any stars through the overhead leaves, the moon is barely shining through. I press my back against a tree, rubbing my arms against the bite of autumn cold finally sinking into my skin. A tear tracks down my cheek as the realization sinks in. I am lost in the woods with a fucking madman chasing me.

I hear a branch snap and turn to run. I don’t get far before I slam into something. Before I can fall on my ass, thick muscled arms band around my waist. A scream bubbles up in my chest but I never get the opportunity to let it out. Burke kisses me harshly once more, his hands kneading my ass.

My hands find their way between us, and I push against his chest, but I would have a better chance at pushing a mountain across a field. His body remains immovable, but his lips continue sliding against mine before working their way across my jaw and down my throat.

An involuntary shiver works its way through my body. I need to continue fighting him and I need to get away, but my hormones are making that hard and I feel my body melt against him. His woodsy scent invades my senses and I try my hardest to remember that he is in fact crazy and I don’t want to be in his arms.
